I see many of the threads seeming to blame incels for all violent, anti-social acts committed in western societies. For some reason, many have a confirmation bias where mass shooters are classified as incels if they ever state having difficulty holding relationships. Hence, many make the assumption that most incels are violence-prone individuals who may snap at anytime.
I would like to point to Japan, arguably the country with the highest number of virgins (and correspondingly the lowest birth rate). Appx 42% of men and 44.5% of females between the ages of 18 and 34 in Japan are are virgins.
Approximately 85+% percent of those surveyed stated that they wish for a relationship, so you cannot state these people choose to remain celibate. They are by definition, incels.
Yet in spite of this, Japan has one of the lowest violent crime rates in the world. You don't see disgruntled virgins shooting up crowds of women, attacking mosques, etc.
Perhaps there is more to the issue of violence in American and other western societies than men simply being unable to get into a relationship?
Maybe it has something to do with individualist societies spreading the message that single people are losers and rejects?
Maybe it has to do with a bigger problem of overall disconnection in Western societies?
